Review of Nike SasQuatch Tour Golf Carry Bag

Golf Backpack Bag Reviews: Nike SasQuatch Tour Backpack Bag OVERALL RATING SCORE: 86 GRADE: B The Nike SasQuatch Tour Backpack Bag in fact LOOKS cool. Kudos to the architecture aggregation for aesthetics. But if it comes to accustomed performance, the bag is beyond and added than a lot of of the added accoutrements tested. It appears to be advised as a amalgam amid a backpack bag and a barrow bag, and unfortunately, if you try to amuse all of the humans all of the time, you wind up adorable none of the humans some of the time...er, all of the time...er, all of the humans none of the time? Suffice it to say that we were not absolutely pleased. But if you're searching for something to use primarily as a barrow bag, with abandoned an casual stroll, the Nike SasQuatch Tour Backpack Bag may be account blockage out. Retail price: $190 CLUB STORAGE SCORE: 85 GRADE: B If you didn't apperceive how abounding clubs you are accustomed to backpack in a round, you will afterwards you get a Nike SasQuatch Tour Stand Bag - the dividers articulation the bag into 14 slots, one of abandoned two accoutrements that provided committed amplitude for anniversary club. The dividers run the absolute breadth of the bag, so the shafts and grips of your clubs will not blow one another. Mr. Monk, we accept begin the bag for you! But for our reviewers, re-inserting clubs into the appointed slots became a bit of a affliction at times - afterwards hitting a abhorrent shot, it is difficult to affectation the adapted akin of abhorrence if you accept to in fact acquisition the adapted aperture afore you can dejectedly bang your club into it. LEGS SCORE: 80 GRADE: B- Tipping was an casual botheration with the Nike SasQuatch Tour Stand Bag if ambience it down quickly, conceivably because either the legs aren't absolutely continued abundant for the physique of the bag (a bit like Elizabeth Hurley...I'm not adage she isn't awfully beautiful, but next time you see a account of her, see if you don't accede with me that her anatomy is a bit too continued for her legs) or because the bend at which the legs extend is insufficient. The legs abandoned accept adaptable caps over the end of them, instead of the beyond anxiety begin on abounding of the competitors' bags, so there is beneath stability. The bounce was aswell a bit tighter than on a lot of bags, banishment us to apply some accomplishment afore the legs would extend. STRAPS SCORE: 89 GRADE: B+ There are 4 acclimation credibility for the straps, and in accession to some basal padding, there are arresting air bladders to accommodate even added cushioning. Oddly enough, some of the air bladders are on the alfresco of the band - which would accomplish it adequate for anyone to whom you are giving a piggyback ride on the golf course. Otherwise, we anticipate it's just for show. Ooooh...air! In any event, the straps were adequate enough, although we didn't absolutely apprehension any cogent aberration amid the "air" supplemented straps and accustomed bedlam straps. POCKETS/STORAGE SCORE: 87 GRADE: B+ The Nike SasQuatch Tour Stand Bag claims to accept 10 absolute pockets. * 1 ample apparel abridged runs forth the appropriate ancillary of the bag, with 3 baby pockets (including a waterproof velour-lined backing pocket) forth the alfresco of this apparel pocket. * There is a medium-sized abridged on the appropriate ancillary of the spine, abreast the base, and a abate abridged on the larboard ancillary of the spine, abreast the base. * On the larboard ancillary of the bag is a lined "cooler" pocket, and forth the alfresco of the acknowledgment abridged is a cobweb "water bottle" pocket. Yes, it addled us that the one labeled "water bottle" should be the one that is lined, but hey, maybe the association in Beaverton like to accumulate liquids at assorted temperatures over the advance of a round. * If you're counting with us, that abandoned takes us to 8 absolute pockets. We anticipate that Nike is aswell aggravating to calculation the 2 tiny pockets for a Sharpie and a pencil. How do we apperceive that they are for a Sharpie and a pencil? Because Nike sews on little pictures advertence their purpose, that's how. The Nike SasQuatch Tour Backpack Bag includes acceptable straps on the appropriate ancillary of the bag for captivation an umbrella, and a annular ring for adhering a towel. An anomaly on the bag is a "quick access" sleeve on the aback of the bag for autumn balls. The sleeve has a rubber-lined aperture on anniversary end, through which the user can forcibly admit about 5 golf balls. Removing a brawl complex advance a brace of fingers into the sleeve and aggravating to beat the brawl out. Our acquaintance was that this was neither "quick", nor was it what we advised "access". Instead, it seems agnate to what we brainstorm it's like to ability central a cow and about-face about a breached calf. We vote for just a accustomed abridged next time! While the amount of pockets is sufficient, their adjustment larboard something to be desired. Our reviewers about acclaim efforts to be artistic and different, but in this case, we begin that "different" didn't necessarily beggarly better. RAIN HOOD SCORE: 94 GRADE: A The Nike SasQuatch Tour Backpack Bag wins the accolade for best rain hood. Adhering the rain awning is as simple as hooking an adaptable band about a cleft on the foreground of the bag, again snapping the awning into 4 buttons about the top edge. If you're traveling to be bent in a abrupt downpour, this is the rain awning you wish to have! CARRYING IMPRESSIONS SCORE: 81 GRADE: B- The added weight of the bag larboard our reviewers cold. Actually, on a balmy day, it larboard our reviewers overheated. * Weight. At 7.0 pounds as tested, including the rain hood, the Nike SasQuatch Tour Backpack Bag is one of the heaviest accoutrements we tested. * Balance. Something about the weight administration in the bag was off, as it acquainted abundant (heavier adjoin the appropriate ancillary if both straps are utilized). * Padding. We accepted the abundant added area the bag rests adjoin the user's lower back. STYLE SCORE: 94 GRADE: A If there's one affair this bag gets right, it's the bluster in its design. Something about it just looks hot, and we anticipate abounding buyers will accomplish their accommodation based on that agency alone. There's annihilation amiss with that - afterwards all, a golf bag is a lot cheaper than a bays wife. The Nike SasQuatch Tour Backpack Bag comes in 5 altered blush combinations: * Black, with gold trim (this one looks REALLY badass) * Charcoal and grey, with neon blooming trim * Charcoal and grey, with red trim * Blue and silver * Chicken and black, with argent trim INNOVATION SCORE: 89 GRADE: B+ All in all, even admitting we didn't adulation all of Nike's experiments, we gave them benefit credibility for trying, because that's what will advance to bigger products. We've already adumbrated our ambiguity aloft adjoin Nike's brawl sleeve and with their "creative" abridged placement. A few added innovations include:canvas computer bag * The Nike SasQuatch Tour Backpack Bag aswell appearance a "dual durometer" bag base. This about consists of some annular chicken adaptable circles on the basal of the bag. We accept that this makes it easier to balance the bag if it is beggared to a golf cart. * On the appropriate ancillary of the bag is a Velcro application for adhering a golf glove. How do we apperceive that it's for a golf glove? That's right...because Nike sews on a little account advertence its purpose! * 5 rubber-lined holes are on the appropriate ancillary of the bag. We couldn't amount out their purpose because there was no picture. No, we kid! They are for tee storage. COST/VALUE SCORE: 83 GRADE: B- At $190, the Nike SasQuatch Tour Backpack Bag is priced at about the average of the accoutrements tested. Our reviewers accept there are bigger assuming accoutrements at an according or lower amount point.
